About Measurements The Meter measures bearing health and the overall vibration condition of a machine. Three types of measurements are available: bearing vibration, overall vibration, and temperature. Vibration measurement units are user-selectable. More information about how to change these units is on page 9.

For the best measurements, use these guidelines:

• Push N and position the Meter perpendicular to the test surface.

• Push the sensor tip onto the test surface, on solid metal, and as close to the bearing as possible until the green LED turns on.

• Hold Meter in position with a consistent force until the green LED turns off. The test results show on the display.

In most applications the default RPM setting of >600 RPM is correct. You must change this range for low frequency applications where the shaft rotation is <600 RPM. More information about how to change the RPM setting is on page 23.

Figure 6 identifies the parts of the measurement display.

Vibration Meter About Measurements

19

Crest Factor+ (High Frequency Measurement) Crest Factor is the ratio of the peak value / RMS value of a time domain vibration signal. Vibration analysts use this ratio to find bearing faults. However, the Crest Factor method has a key limitation. The Crest Factor increases during initial bearing degradation when the peak value increases. It then decreases as the bearing damage worsens and the RMS value increases. A low Crest Factor value could show a healthy bearing or a significantly degraded bearing. The problem is to know the difference between the two.

The Meter operates with a proprietary algorithm, Crest Factor+ (CF+), to overcome this limitation. To make interpretation easy for the user, the CF+ value shows in a range from 1 to 12. The higher the CF+ value is, the more the bearing damage. Table 5 shows the relationship of the values of CF+ to vibration severity.

Table 5. Crest Factor+

CF+ Severity 1 to 3 Good 4 to 6 Satisfactory 7 to 9 Unsatisfactory

10 to 12 Unacceptable

The CF+ value shows for each measurement in the Bearing field on the Meter display. Push 6 and 7 to toggle between the CF+ value and the high frequency vibration level in units of velocity, acceleration, and displacement.

Quick Measurement A quick measurement is a measurement without setup steps to get a fast measurement for bearing vibration, overall vibration, and temperature measurement. To make a quick measurement:

1. Push O to turn on the Meter. The default screen appears without any machine ID or Machine Category.

2. Push N. 3. Apply compression force between the sensor tip

and test surface until the green LED turns on. 4. Wait until the green LED turns off and shows the

test result. The overall vibration and temperature measurements show on the display.

gqi48.bmp

805 Users Manual

Overall Vibration (Low Frequency) Measurement with Severity Scale An overall vibration, or low frequency, measurement includes a severity scale. The severity scale is an on-screen tool that interprets the vibration wear as good, satisfactory, unsatisfactory, or unacceptable. More information about the severity scale is on page 32.

For this measurement, you must set the Meter to recognize the type of machine, or Machine Category, for the test. A list of the most common categories is programmed into the Meter. When the Meter is set to a category, it can adjust for the usual vibration levels of different machine types. This gives you the best accuracy in the severity scale.

After these parameters are set, the Meter shows the overall vibration and bearing measurements with a severity scale for each measurement. The overall vibration severity scale uses a statistical analysis of data from thousands of industrial machines. Keep in mind when you use the severity scales:

• The severity scales are only applicable to machines at speeds from 600 RPM to 10,000 RPM.

Note Severity scales do not show if the RPM range is <600 RPM.

• Make measurements with the accelerometer as close as possible to the bearing housing.

• The severity scales are not applicable if the machine is installed on spring or pad isolators.

• Severity scales for motors match the machine that they operate. For example, when you do a test on a motor that operates a centrifugal pump, select the applicable centrifugal pump Machine Category for all test points on the motor and pump.

• Gearbox severity scales are applicable only for single-stage, rolling element bearing gearboxes.



21

Interpret Results The Meter is a screening tool to identify machinery problems for more diagnostic tests. The Meter has a vibration severity scale for Bearing and Overall Vibration measurements. It can also trend vibration measurements over time. If a measurement shows high vibration severity, or if there is an adverse trend in vibration severity over time, then the machine can have a problem. Fluke recommends that you consult a vibration specialist for more tests to find the root cause of these problems.

Severity Scale Measurements with a machine ID and rotational speeds >600 RPM include the severity scale. A good measurement always finds some vibration. There are four severity levels: good, satisfactory, unsatisfactory, and unacceptable. A measurement in the good category is an indication of a healthy machine. Table 6 lists the different severity scales.

Vibration Meter Interpret Results

33

Table 6. Severity Scale

Scale Action

No repair action is recommended.

No immediate repair action is required. Increase the frequency of measurements and monitor the condition of the machine.

Have a knowledgeable vibration technician conduct more advanced tests at the earliest opportunity. Consider maintenance action at the next planned downtime or maintenance period.

Have a knowledgeable vibration technician conduct more advanced tests as soon as possible. Consider immediate shutdown of the machine to make repairs and prevent failure.

ISO 10816 Standards As an alternative to the Overall Vibration Severity Scale included in the Meter, you can use the ISO Standard 10816-1 to evaluate the severity of overall vibration levels. Table 7 is a chart that contains the values from this standard. You can compare the overall vibration value measured with the Meter to this table to identify the vibration severity.

Trending Trending, or repeated vibration measurements kept in a spreadsheet over time, is the best method to track machine health. The product CD supplies a custom Microsoft Excel template that helps you to evaluate the measurements. See Export Data on page 35 for more information about the template and measurement plots.

The Excel template also can give an Overall Vibration Severity that refers to one of three ISO Standards: • 10816-1 • 10816-3 • 10816-7 A brief description of each standard and terms is as follows:

ISO 10816-1 This standard contains general guidelines for machine vibration measurements on non-rotating parts.

Key terms Class I: Individual parts of engines and machines integrally connected to the machine in normal operation. Production electrical motors at a maximum of 15 kW are examples of machines in this category.

Class II: Medium-sized machines (typically electrical motors with 15 kW to 75 kW output) without special foundations, rigidly mounted engines or machines (up to 300 kW) on special foundations.

Class III: Large prime-movers and other large machines with rotating masses mounted on rigid and heavy foundations that are relatively stiff in the direction of the vibration measurements.

Class IV: Large prime-movers and other large machines with rotating masses mounted on foundations that are relatively soft in the direction of vibration measurements (for example, turbo generator sets and gas turbines with outputs greater than 10 MW).

ISO 10816-3 This standard is used to evaluate machine vibration by measurements on non-rotating parts, for industrial machines with nominal power above 15 kW and nominal speeds between 120 RPM and 15,000 RPM when measured in situ.

Key terms Rigid: A machine foundation with the machine supports rigidly attached to the machine skid and/or the solid floor of the facility.

Flexible: A machine with flexible attachment between the machine supports and foundation or facility floor. The most common example of this is a machine in which vibration isolators (flexible vibration damping mechanisms) separate the machine and foundation.

Group 1: Large machines with rated power above 300 kW and not more than 50 MW (electrical machines with shaft height: H ≥315 mm).

Vibration Meter Export Data

35

Group 2: Medium-sized machines with rated power above 15 kW up to and including 300 kW, electrical machines with shaft height 160 mm ≤ H <315 mm.

ISO 10816-7 This standard is used to evaluate machine vibration on rotor dynamic pumps by measurements on nonrotating parts.

Note The standard includes guidance for measurements on rotating shafts, but this portion is not applicable to the Meter.

Key terms Category I: Pumps that require a high level of reliability, availability, or safety (for example, pumps for toxic and hazardous liquids, critical applications, oil and gas, special chemical, and nuclear or power plant application).

Category II: Pumps for general or less critical applications (for example, pumps for non-hazardous liquids).

Export Data The export data feature lets you move data from the Meter to a PC through the USB connection. The product CD supplies a custom Microsoft Excel template that helps you to evaluate the measurements. The template includes fields for:

• Device ID (the Meter from which the data was downloaded)

• Machine ID (the machine on which the test was performed, machine ID may contain two levels)

• Machine Category (such as pump or compressor)

• High frequency/bearing measurement (Crest Factor+)

• Low frequency reading (overall vibration)

• Temperature

• Time and Date

To copy the template:

1. Turn on the PC or Laptop and put the product CD into the CD-ROM drive.

2. Make a copy of the template to a destination on the PC or Laptop.

To export data:

1. Connect the USB cable between the PC and the Meter. See USB on page 17 for more information.
